Regeneration Power
The liver is the only organ that can regenerate. It can regrow to full size even after 75% of it has been removed.
Largest Internal Organ
Weighing about 3 pounds, the liver is the largest internal organ and is roughly the size of a football.
500+ Functions
The liver is a multitasker, performing over 500 vital functions, including filtering blood and fighting infections.
Blood Reservoir
At any given moment, the liver holds about 13% of the body’s total blood supply.
Chemical Processor
It produces chemicals needed for blood clotting. Without a liver, you would bleed uncontrollably from a small cut.
Energy Battery
It stores excess glucose as glycogen and releases it when your body needs a quick energy boost.
Detox Center
The liver filters toxins from alcohol and drugs, converting them into harmless substances.
